When you get your GPS working and have the final results I would appreciate a ton if you post them. I was thinking about adding a set on my 350/300hp twin-engine scarab. I would really like to see the final numbers but just the weight savings alone is reason enough to buy them.

Still waiting on results from the speed runs. Theres a lot of us SBC guys looking for more and inexpensive power, so how about sharing the results?
